Li Nuowei looked at the two candies on the table, and his intuition told him that it was best not to eat both, but there was a bewitching voice in his heart telling him, "Choose one to eat." This made him hesitate.

Decide.

Red, blue...

Which one to choose?

"I choose red." After hesitating for a while, Li Nuowei tremblingly picked up the so-called "strawberry flavored" candy.

"It seems you still like strawberry flavored ones." Lin Ling smiled slightly, and then he took away the so-called "blueberry flavored" candies. This seemingly unintentional move completely cut off Li Nuowei's escape route, because invisibly,

Li Nuowei felt that he no longer had the right to make changes.

Li Nuowei took a deep breath, looked back at death, and stuffed the strawberry-flavored red candy into his mouth.

Strawberry flavor, hard fructose, sweet, and an aftertaste that leaves your lips and teeth... Ordinary strawberry candy with a good taste?

Li Nuowei first wrinkled his face in pain and closed his eyes tightly, but the taste of fructose made him couldn't help but taste it. As he tasted it carefully, he felt more and more that this candy could be so ordinary.

He opened his eyes and saw Boss Lin looking at him with a slight smile, as if he was a little amused. Li Nuowei just felt that he might have thought too much and thought too badly of Boss Lin... Maybe the other party really just wanted to invite him.

He eats a candy.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Ling asked with a smile.

Li Nuowei tried to chew the candy, crushed it with his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach. He smiled dryly and nodded: "It's delicious, not bad...it tastes like childhood."

Lin Ling nodded, and then suddenly asked Li Nuowei a strange question: "Do you think reality is cruel or beautiful?"

Hearing this, Li Nuowei paused chewing and thought for a while. Countless memories of death flooded into his mind. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Reality may be cruel."

"Haha, let's go back to the beginning. Suppose you didn't encounter all those strange things, what was your impression of reality?" Lin Ling chuckled, and was good at coaxing the other party to follow his own train of thought.

Li Nuowei had no intention of resisting Lin Ling. He would only think along the lines of the questions raised by Lin Ling and would not give defiant answers against Lin Ling's ideas.

Hearing Lin Ling's words, Li Nuowei looked at a loss. He seemed to be opening up a thick stack of photo albums in his mind, trying to find himself who was still an ordinary person and had never encountered any extraordinary things.

Recalling his past before he was twenty-one years old, Li Nuowei's eyes flashed with nostalgia. He laughed and said: "If that were the case, I would feel that the reality is not bad or bad, and some cruelty may happen."

things, but you can always live with hope."

"Oh, it seems that you are the majority, an optimistic pessimist." Lin Ling smiled, clapped her hands, and then expressed her opinion, "I have met most people, and their views on reality are the same as yours.

Likewise, only those unfortunate people who have experienced all kinds of suffering in this world will say that reality is cruel and reality is a hell of suffering."

As he spoke, Lin Ling reached out to the dark corner of the shop. Hearing a "meow" sound, a big black cat that had been staying in the dark corner for some time jumped up to the counter.

Go up and take the initiative to rub your head against his outstretched finger.

Lin Ling grabbed the cat's butt with both hands, and the black soft hair and flesh between his fingers began to rhythm with the massage movements. It looked soft. The black cat lay comfortably on the counter table, swaying its slender tail comfortably.

.

Lin Ling stroked the cat while continuing: "Human beings are creatures that yearn for bright hope, but are close to darkness and despair. The miserable fate resonates more with humans, so when most people like you hear and see

When people are affected by the suffering of others, they will recall their own painful experiences. The painful memories are always impressive, so they will not hesitate to be slightly biased toward them in their hearts, and then they will say in their hearts, "It's so real."

.

But when someone talks about their wonderful life in front of everyone, it is difficult for people to resonate with them. They just think that it is false and staged. Nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, but why does this person take all the good things?

I was secretly envious or even jealous in my heart, and comforted myself, "That's fake."

Therefore, integrating human thoughts, I think the so-called reality is composed of ‘cruel reality’ and ‘beautiful illusion’.”

After listening to Lin Ling's views, Li Nuowei only felt that Boss Lin's idea was very unique. Although it was sophistical, it unexpectedly coincided with people's thoughts and felt that it made some sense.

But then, Li Nuowei felt that the sky was about to fall, and heard Lin Ling say: "So I thought, if we divide reality and illusion into two, and draw a clear boundary between reality and illusion, what will happen to people in this world?"

When people can see reality, or when people can only see illusions, can they still distinguish the correct reality?"

Lin Ling looked at Li Nuowei, grinning his white teeth, "And right now you need to see the true path clearly."

Li Nuowei's face was moved. He felt that the sweetness in his mouth was the best disguised poison in the world. His throat was so dry and uncomfortable that he said hoarsely: "So that candy..."

"Candy is just candy." Lin Ling said with a smile, "Aren't you eating it right now? Doesn't it taste real enough?"

Li Nuowei listened to Lin Ling's words. It was indeed a very simple method to judge reality, but it seemed to be no longer applicable to him. He could no longer correctly judge what he was chewing in his mouth in a short period of time.

Whether it is a candy or not, it may really be a candy, but it may also be a pill of poison, or it may be nothing at all...

The so-called candy is Boss Lin's definition of that thing from the beginning, and he tasted it and tasted the texture and taste of candy, so he thought it was candy.

But is there a kind of "poison" that is exactly the same as candy?

No, no, no... The texture and taste may be due to Boss Lin instilling the message "This is candy" into his subconscious, so that he can taste such a feeling... No, no...

Li Nuowei fell into infinite self-doubt. His already chaotic spirit became a little bit crazy now.

With Lin Ling's chuckle, Li Nuowei, who was trapped in his own strange thinking circle, woke up like a dream. Li Nuowei looked at Lin Ling with cold sweat: "Boss, how long have I been here?"

"Just here, time means nothing." Lin Ling said with a smile, "Chenghui, a strawberry fruit-flavored hard candy, five cents."

Li Nuowei paid the money in a daze. He didn't know if he had paid anything else besides the fifty cents. He walked towards the store door with a wry smile.

"Welcome to visit next time." Wei Jiang came back from outside the house after packing up the sundries in the store, and thoughtfully opened the store door for Li Nuowei and sent him out.

"Brother Wei, please..." Li Nuowei was about to say thank you, but he felt his eyes blurred. The upper and lower parts of Wei Jiang's figure were obviously dislocated, as if they had been cut off. At the same time, the other party's face also changed.

It was no longer the upright and kind person he had seen before, but a ferocious red face, eyes wide open with anger, and a pair of sharp fangs sticking out of his mouth. Seeing this scene, Li Nuowei suddenly trembled, his mood became chaotic, and he forgot

speech.
